It's still early in the A Lyga season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Žalgiris - Banga preview!
- Žalgiris have the most scored goals in the first half (4) in A Lyga
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
This stadium uses grass, unlike Banga's home stadium. The visitors last 36 games on grass have ended in 17 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses.
Žalgiris form and stats
Seven points from three A Lyga home games is a great start for Žalgiris, who are hoping to build on that form here at Vilniaus LFF stadionas. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Žalgiris after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Edvinas Gertmonas not having conceded a league goal in 209 minutes.
Žalgiris are traveling soon after this match as the A Lyga match at Kauno Zalgiris awaits in four days.
Žalgiris can score goals in their home matches. After 3 league matches they have found the net 6 times. Žalgiris have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Banga form and stats
It's not happening yet for Banga on their A Lyga travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's a growing despair in Banga as they have recorded three consecutive losses. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Banga have lost on their last two travels.
Banga have the goal stats of 2-5 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: eight wins for Žalgiris, two draws and zero wins for Banga. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Žalgiris missing players
